The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Although Li Fu had never seen Jie Li, he had heard of this grassland dance king.

It doesn't matter if he runs away this time, he will have a chance to see him in the future.

I heard that the grassland people in Mobei are burly and tough.

In the future, I will definitely see their Khan in person and appreciate how beautiful his dance is.

Li Yuan heard the battle report from the front line and excitedly put the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Good!" Li Yuan shouted excitedly: "What a great Erlang, he retreated the enemy without fighting, he is worthy of being the General of Tiance!"

"Your Majesty, although the eighteen tribes of the grassland retreated, I am worried that this may be a trick of the Turks. After our army retreated, they will come back to kill us..."

"No, the battle report said that Erlang led the army to station there, waited for two days, and returned after not finding any abnormalities from Jie Li and others." Li Yuan said: "Erlang still has this judgment."

"Pass the order down, I want to personally welcome the King of Qin." Li Yuan said happily.

When Li Shimin left Chang'an to fight against the eighteen tribes of the grassland, Li Yuan personally saw him off to boost the military prestige. Now that the army has returned to the court, Li Yuan personally went to welcome it, giving it enough attention.

Of course, he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

After all, the Tang Dynasty did not move the capital, which preserved the dignity of the court. In addition, the retreat of the eighteen armies also saved Chang'an from danger.

During the two days in the army, Li Fu began to learn horse riding from Cheng Yaojin.

He couldn't ride in a carriage every time, and if he returned to the capital and entered Chang'an City, he would still ride in a carriage, which would always be a bit embarrassing.

In the Tang Dynasty, learning to ride a horse was just like learning to drive a car in later generations. Li Fu was now a nobleman, and he had to learn what he should learn. He might as well take this opportunity to learn well in the army.

With Cheng Yaojin, a big guy, by his side to protect him, Li Fu would feel much more at ease.

As for Cheng Yaojin, at first he looked down on Li Fu, who became a nobleman by relying on his royal status. Moreover, he had to follow him to the army and make military achievements beside the King of Qin, which made him even more despised.

But in the discussions again and again, Cheng Yaojin found that Li Fu was still a man of some quality, just as cunning as those literati who gave advice in the King of Qin's mansion.

Later, when they met Jie Li with a hundred riders, Li Fu took out such a treasure just to keep them safe, and Cheng Yaojin and other warriors accepted Li Fu.

It is also very simple for a general to agree with a person, that is, they have the same temper and can pee in the same pot.

What makes Li Fu different from those literati is that he is more generous and speaks directly, instead of making so many twists and turns.

On the way back, Li Fu rode a tall horse.

Li Shimin was worried that Li Fu had to ride so far for the first time, and specially arranged two guards to protect Li Fu.

In this way, the group returned to Chang'an.

The army was stationed outside Chang'an City, and Li Shimin led the people of Qin Wangfu and a group of guards into Chang'an City.

Li Yuan greeted Li Shimin at the gate of the Imperial Palace. Looking at the wide Suzaku Avenue, he could see Li Shimin's team coming here from a distance.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Li Shimin dismounted, came to Li Yuan, and knelt on one knee to salute.

The people in the Qin Wang Mansion following Li Shimin also saluted Li Yuan.

Li Fu did the same.

"Please stand up quickly, please stand up quickly." Li Yuan stepped forward and helped Li Shimin up: "Qin Wang, you did a good job this time, you did a good job!"

Li Yuan's happiness was all shown on his face.

"You are all meritorious officials of my Tang Dynasty." Li Yuan's eyes swept over the people behind Li Shimin.

Originally, the 18 tribes of the grassland came with such a fierce force that he had to consider moving the capital to avoid the sharp edge. As a result, they retreated, and it was the Qin Wang who led the soldiers to force them back.

"Thanks to your majesty's majesty, this time it was relatively smooth." Li Shimin said.

"Okay, okay!" Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Let's go back. I have prepared a banquet for you in the palace."

Even if Li Shimin did not return to the palace, Li Yuan had been drinking to relieve his sorrow these days.

After all, he was really unsure in his heart, and as he got older, he was not as energetic as before to handle state affairs. Instead, he enjoyed himself in the palace, which was more in line with his wishes.

In the palace, Li Fu met the prince and the King of Qi again.

But this time, the two of them also noticed him, and the look they gave him was not as peaceful as when they first met in the palace.

Li Fu picked up the wine glass in front of him and covered his eyes with wine.

It seems that these two people have already determined that they are on the side of the King of Qin.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway...it doesn't matter.

This time, let the eighteen tribes of the grasslandThe troops retreated, and the people of the Qin Wang and Tian Ce Mansion made contributions again. The Crown Prince and the King of Qi had no choice but to stare blankly at the banquet and say insincere words of praise.

They could only watch the Qin Wang Mansion become more and more powerful.

After the banquet, Li Fu said goodbye to Li Shimin, and then rode back to the house in Banzhengfang.

Old Zhao should have finished the moving, and now he should be waiting for him to go back in Jingyang Wang Mansion.

It was dark when he came out of the palace. At this time, the curfew in Chang'an City was not so strict. In addition, Li Fu had a token, so the Jinwu Guards would naturally not embarrass him.

After successfully arriving at the house in Banzhengfang, Li Fu turned over and dismounted, and went forward to knock on the door.

"Who is it at this late hour?"

"Your master is back." Li Fu said.

After he came back from the army, he had no guards around him. He had just become a prince, and he didn't have all the guards and followers. Therefore, sometimes, without Shitou, he had to be alone.

But after the battle, there was plenty of time to slowly look for the right candidate.

The gatekeeper opened the side door and saw Li Fu leading the horse at the door, and hurried out to greet him.

"My Lord."

Li Fu handed the reins to the gatekeeper, and then went into the house on his own.

After returning, he went straight to the study.

There was still light in the study at this time.

Pushing the door and entering the study, Lao Zhao in the study was frightened and jumped up from the couch.

After seeing that the person coming in was Li Fu, he was obviously relieved.

"My Lord, you are back." Lao Zhao bowed his hands.

"Okay, let's stop being polite." Li Fu said, "Let's talk about what happened in the past two days. It seems that everything in the house is peaceful. Is there anything wrong?"

Old Zhao shook his head, "Nothing happened. Everything was done according to the instructions of the young master. After the young master left that day, I asked the people in the house on the farm to start packing up and prepare to move here the next day."
